Anderson Franco Law

A hit-and-run incident involving three vehicles occurred on eastbound I-380 just west of US-101 in San Francisco on October 1, 2024, at approximately 1:44 PM. The collision involved two SUVs and one sedan, resulting in multiple injuries.

Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene, with units arriving by 2:19 PM. One of the vehicles, a blue Ford SUV, required towing services. The incident caused significant traffic disruptions in the area as authorities worked to clear the scene and assist the injured parties.

The full extent of the injuries sustained is currently unknown, but the incident has undoubtedly caused distress and inconvenience to those involved. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through the area and to be vigilant for any ongoing emergency response activities.

Our thoughts are with the victims of this unfortunate event, and we urge anyone with information about the hit-and-run driver to contact local authorities immediately.

Legal Analysis

In this incident, a hit-and-run accident occurred involving three vehicles on the eastbound I-380 near the northbound US-101. The accident resulted in injuries, as indicated by the code “1181,” which refers to a traffic collision with injuries. The personal injury victims in this case have specific legal rights that they can pursue to seek compensation for their injuries and damages.

First, the victims have the right to file a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. Since this is a hit-and-run case, identifying the responsible party may be challenging, but it is crucial for the victims to report the incident to the police and provide any available information that could help locate the driver. Witness statements, surveillance footage, and any other evidence can be instrumental in identifying the hit-and-run driver. Once identified, the victims can pursue a claim for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages.

In addition to pursuing the at-fault driver, the victims should also explore their own insurance policies for potential coverage. Many auto insurance policies include uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage, which can provide compensation when the at-fault driver is either unidentified or lacks sufficient insurance to cover the damages. The victims should contact their insurance company to file a claim under their UM/UIM coverage and provide all necessary documentation to support their claim.

Lastly, it is advisable for the victims to consult with a personal injury attorney who can guide them through the legal process and ensure their rights are protected. An attorney can help gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent the victims in court if necessary. By taking these steps, the personal injury victims can seek the compensation they deserve and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.
